Adele is basically just like us—if by “us” you mean someone who’s totally cool with interrupting their busy schedule to watch Olympic sports!
So here’s the scoop: The 36-year-old Grammy queen was living her best life in Munich, Germany, where she’s been dazzling crowds with her shows since Friday night (August 2). But come Saturday, she hit pause on the stage to catch a thrilling moment from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The event in question? The women’s 100 meters race, where Sha’Carri Richardson of the USA zoomed into second place with a blazing time of 10.87 seconds, earning her first-ever Olympic medal. The gold medal went to Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia, who probably had a personal fan club of five gold medals cheering her on.
Now, here’s where it gets juicy: a fan video that’s blowing up on X (formerly known as Twitter, because rebranding is fun) shows Adele’s residency in Messe München with all the stage screens broadcasting the epic race. Yes, Adele’s stage turned into an Olympic viewing party!
We totally get it, Adele. Because who wouldn’t want to swap a high note for a high-speed chase?
